I have a Brother HL-1470N printer and when it prints it prints dirty and all it needs is to probably clean drum and I'm wandering how do you clean the drum? Thank you

I don't see a Brother HL-1400 on their site. However, there is an HL-1440 which uses the TN-430 (regular) or TN-460 (high yield) toner cartridges. This printer also takes the DR-400 drum unit.
This toner cartridge works with several models in the HL-1400 series, including the HL-1435, HL-1440, HL-1450 and HL-1470N.
need printer service ,some times when the laser unit dirty than u should clean all optical mirror inside laser unit. sometime comes from drum , also if the fuser unit defective, last chance change toner cartridge.
Try cleaning the drum cylinder with alcohol and a cotton ball. Then swipe the corona wire cleaner back and forward making sure to return it to the correct place. Try a print. If it is improved - replace the drum at earliest convenience. If not improved - could be dirty laser lenses or problem with the fuser.
You are nearing time for a drum replacement. Here is link to the Brother site for your printer. Be careful when purchasing drums - I made the mistake of buying an after market drum kit and after 100 prints was replacing it again with a OEM part.
The inside could be dirty, blowing it out could help, but first try taking out the toner and drum and cleaning the corona by running the blue tab near the front back and forth about 20 times and then blow out that area with a can of air. If you can see the lines on the drum, you may need a new drum.
does the problem exist if you try your old cartridge (just for a test)? if it doesn't, then you have a defective toner. Otherwise it is coincidental, and you need to replace the Drum unit.
